Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

Return to your own courtyard.

Lin Changsheng still couldn't understand why the dignified head of the He family would take the initiative to match him with He Wanying.

In terms of background, he himself came from a humble background as a cultivator, while He Wanying was a direct descendant of a family.

In terms of status, although Lin Changsheng is a talisman master, He Wanying is also an alchemist, and in the ranking of the various arts of cultivation, she is even superior to the talisman master.

In terms of cultivation, Lin Changsheng had just broken through to the sixth level of Qi Condensation, while He Wanying had already entered the eighth level of Qi Condensation.

In short, I am far inferior to Miss He Wanying; we are not even in the same league.

It seems that after several failed marriage attempts, the younger generation of the He family has dwindled in talent, and the burden of the family's future rise and fall is gradually falling on He Wanying's shoulders.

In this way, the family would naturally not allow the woman to marry out, and could only recruit a son-in-law like He Liangcai.

"Thinking about it this way, it makes sense."

Lin Changsheng pondered to himself.

Being in his prime and possessing the skill of talisman-making, he could be of great help to the He family.

However, the current relationship is merely one of cooperation, not true dependence.

Only if one can become a Daoist partner with He Wanying can one be considered a true member of the He family.

Moreover, apart from his skill in making talismans, his cultivation level is mediocre, and he has a calm personality. Apart from being enthusiastic about cultivation and making talismans, he will not interfere too much in the affairs of the clan.

Such a person is indeed a rare and desirable son-in-law.

Unfortunately, Lin Changsheng seemed to have a calm and indifferent personality, and was not interested in worldly affairs.

They actually aspire to great heights and look forward to the path to immortality.

They did not want to be bound by any sect or clan.

……

In the past few days, the little girl He Yun's cultivation level has broken through to the second level of Qi Condensation.

Reaching the second level of Qi Condensation at the age of eight is not considered slow even in a cultivation family.

Normal children can only attempt cultivation around the age of six or seven.

At Lin Changsheng's request, He Yun has always relied on herself for cultivation and has never taken any pills to enhance her cultivation, so her foundation is solid.

"Yun'er, your magical power is already quite strong. I plan to start teaching you how to draw talismans soon. You must study hard and not be playful."

Lin Changsheng spoke solemnly to the little girl.

His cultivation level had reached the sixth level of Qi Condensation. Although he had not yet achieved perfection, Lin Changsheng had made long-term plans.

Once you advance to the late stage of Qi Condensation, you should start preparing for your future Foundation Establishment.

Such a treasure was something that Lin Changsheng, a rogue cultivator, would never have considered relying on the He family to provide.

Any spiritual object related to foundation building is something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought after.

Even if the He family obtains such resources, they would never use them on outsiders.

If you don't prepare in advance, it will be a real headache if you can't find it when you reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

Preparing a spiritual object for foundation building requires frequent travel and cannot be done with the peace of mind one has now.

Therefore, Lin Changsheng intends to fulfill his promise from back then and begin to train He Yun in the art of drawing talismans.

"Tian Fu, you are still young and your bones and tendons are not fully developed. I will first teach you a set of qi-nourishing formulas. Practice them diligently on a regular basis to build a solid foundation."

Turning his head, Lin Changsheng spoke again to the well-behaved boy in front of him.

Although the latter's grandfather was old, his magical power was extremely pure, clearly indicating that he had obtained some kind of opportunity.

In Lin Changsheng's view, it was not impossible for that Fellow Daoist Tian to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Perhaps they will meet again in the future as Foundation Establishment cultivators, so he takes good care of his grandson and may even become friends with a Foundation Establishment senior.

Of course, even if Daoist Tian fails to break through to Foundation Establishment, Lin Changsheng will still keep his promise to raise Tian Fu to adulthood and then let him choose whether to stay or leave.

"Thank you, Uncle Lin!"

"Thank you, Uncle Lin..."

He Yun and Tian Fu both expressed their gratitude in unison.

The next day, Lin Changsheng began to formally teach He Yun some basic knowledge about talisman making.

Just like when I first learned to make talismans, I started from 'quasi-first rank'.

The difference is that I used materials that were almost obsolete back then, while He Yun was not limited by materials during her initial learning stage.

As for Tian Fu, he obtained a mantra for sensing spiritual energy from the memories of 'Tian Du Zhenren'.

It is perfect for children's early education and training.

After dismissing the two little creatures, Lin Changsheng fed the Crimson Centipede and then went outside to find the Bull Demon around the courtyard.

Years passed, and the bull demon grew thinner and thinner until it was almost at the end of its life.

Lin Changsheng continued to use his internal energy cultivation technique to gently soothe and alleviate the pain.

If it weren't for the life-extending power of the "Eternal Spring of Withered Trees" technique, this bull demon would probably have died long ago.

Even so, it probably won't last much longer.

Lin Changsheng was anxious and began to study the 'quasi-second-tier' spirit beast talisman in seclusion.

Lin Changsheng used the near-second-tier spirit bamboo that Li Manting brought to make more than a hundred second-tier talismans.

However, because he was not very skilled at drawing 'spirit beast talismans', he did not directly use these precious talisman papers.

Instead, they used ordinary first-tier talisman paper as drafts for practice.

Whenever I have a sudden insight, I bathe and burn incense to adjust my state to the best, and then take out a second-tier talisman paper to try to draw it.

Unfortunately, the difficulty of creating second-tier spell symbols exceeded Lin Changsheng's expectations.

Even a 'quasi-second-tier' talisman is beyond the reach of a current first-tier talisman master.

Only those with the inherited memories of a 'third-tier rune master' like Lin Lin Changsheng would dare to attempt to draw one.

……

Time flies, and five years have passed.

Lin Changsheng painstakingly studied and researched talismans. One day, he suddenly felt a flash of inspiration and quickly spread out the talisman paper to draw it. The process was surprisingly smooth, as if divinely aided, and he successfully drew the 'spirit beast talisman' that he had been thinking about day and night.

Looking at the remaining half of the second-tier talisman paper, Lin Changsheng carefully put it into his storage bag.

Drawing this spirit beast talisman was time-consuming and laborious. It was already incredibly lucky to succeed even once. Lin Changsheng didn't want to touch second-tier talismans again anytime soon.

Not long after the spirit beast talisman was drawn, the body of the bull demon in the tribe had completely died.

After years of feeding, the bull demon had become familiar with Lin Changsheng's aura.

On his deathbed, he quietly allowed Lin Changsheng to collect the bull demon's essence.

A lifelike miniature bull demon image was imprinted on the spirit beast talisman.

The process went incredibly smoothly.

As for the bull demon's body, after reporting to the family's higher-ups, Lin Changsheng spent family contributions to exchange for it.

The body of a first-order perfected demon beast is a great tonic for the Crimson Centipede.

This bull demon had been corrupted by demonic methods, but it had no effect on the centipede, which was naturally poisonous.

Having accomplished a major task, Lin Changsheng breathed a long sigh of relief.

After summoning the illusory bull demon from the spirit beast talisman for inspection, Lin Changsheng was surprised to find that although the illusory bull demon was slightly inferior to its peak period, it was superior in that it did not feel pain and was fearless of death, roughly equivalent to a human cultivator at the peak of Qi Condensation.

The results were much better than expected.

In other words, Lin Changsheng now has at least the means to fight against cultivators in the late stage of Qi Condensation.

If we were to encounter Madam Xie again now, we would be able to handle the situation more easily.

It was a pleasant surprise.

In terms of cultivation, Lin Changsheng's realm is still at the sixth level of Qi Condensation, but he can already vaguely sense the bottleneck of the seventh level of Qi Condensation.

If things continue like this, it won't be long before I can break through to the seventh level of Qi Condensation.

After thinking it over, Lin Changsheng decided to write a letter and send it to Zhang Xiucai of the Qinglan Sect.
